Hi Daave,

Well, I dumped McAfee. After it was gone, and before installing any other
security program I tried a little net surfing.
It was quite noticeably faster. It may not be the best it can be, but if it
was this fast I would not have been chasing trouble.
I also dumped Spybot and AdAware and downloaded Microsoft Security
Essentials. Looks good. Would you recommend that I add MBAM also? or would
that be overkill? (I kept SAS).

My thanks also to Richard Urban who also suggested removing McAfee.

Thanks, ... Fred

It wouldn't hurt to have MAB as well. It's possible that there is some
malware out there that one program will detect, yet others miss. So
having more than one Spyware/Malware program on hand is a good thing.
 
advanced system care = snake oil???

Those were not my words. If it says that in the thread somewhere it must
have been said by one of those responding to my question.

=============================================================
 
I realize that everyone- sorry the thread is getting confusing,

I was simply answering the "Why-What" comment from earlier in the thread.
regarding how advanced system care was determined to be snake oil. i did
not mean to infer that bayskater said it, just replying to his inquiry.

Again- sorry for the confusion.

Thanks
